Well, sure i could do an on click, but i was looking for mouse over events, because in some of the dialogs i make a small status bar (of sorts). so, if you roll over a button, or a check, i can have alot more info show on the item. thus keeping some of the button/check lengths small, and still having enough info that the person knows what will happen. so, what i do is write to the dialog's .ini file under a new section. then, just put something like n1=...info... and when someone's mouse goes over ID 1, the info is read from the script. and the on click events would WORK, but i would rather they not click the button (and say erase something) just to get the info. all i am hoping for is that when a mouse is over a button in a group box, that the button's ID is shown.
